Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury can change and negatively affect a person’s life forever. It is common that the family of the victim is also dealt an emotional and devastating blow from seeing a loved one’s life altered. At the Law Offices of John W. Hurst, P.C., we are here to help you. The types of accidents that cause brain injury are the following: car accidents, truck accident, workplace accidents, and drunken driving accidents.

In many cases, the severity of a head injury is not known right away. Physical injury to the victim may appear mild, but complications often occur several hours or even days later as a result of bleeding, bruising, or swelling of the brain. In other cases, the physical injury is severe and the effects to the victim are known right away such as when a victim is in a coma, was paralyzed, or killed. Many brain injuries result in loss of hearing, vision, taste, or smell, speech problems, seizures and death.

In these types of cases, insurance companies often rush victims and their families to settlement before they know the true nature of their injuries and the financial costs involved for proper medical care. That’s why you should consult an experienced brain injury attorney. At the Law Offices of John W. Hurst, P.C., we will make sure that you and your family completely understand the nature and extent of your brain injury and will fight on your behalf for the compensation you deserve. We understand the severity of your injury and will do everything within our power to help you and your family. We represent individuals on a contingency basis, meaning we do not charge attorney’s fees until a settlement or verdict is obtained.
